                    PURSUANT TO THE HAGUE CONVENTION

     001   On January 22, 23, 24 and 25, 2001, came on for trial on
     the merits, the Petitioner, NACIRA-SAMLA SAICH'S, First
     Amended Petition for Return of Children Pursuant to Hague
     Convention, PETITION FOR HABEAS CORPUS, AND IN THE
     ALTERNATIVE, SUIT AFFECTING THE PARENT CHILD RELATIONSHIP.

     002   Petitioner, NACIRA-SAMIA SAICHI, appeared with her
     attorney of record, Victoria Welcome. Respondent, MOHAMED BEN
     AHMED TAZI, a.k.a. MOHAMMED BEN AHMED. a.k.a. ADAM TAZI
     appeared with his attorney of record. Janice McCorkel.  All
     parties and witnesses were sworn in and placed under the Rule,
     and present in Court for all proceedings.

     003   The children the subject of this suit are:

           1.   IBRAHIM TAZI, a.k.a. BRIAN TAZI, date of birth,
                04/17/1989; and

           2    YOUSSEF TAZI, a.k.a. HENRY TAZI, date of birth,
                02/19/1992 hereinafter the 'Children'

     004   The Court finds:

           1.   that on July 1, 1988, the 1980 Hague Convention on
                the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction
                ("Convention") entered into force between the
                United States and France;

           2.   the International Child Abduction Remedies Act, 42
                U.S.C. Section 11601 - 11610 (l988)("ICARA")
                implemented the Convention in the United States;

           3.   the Central Authority of France has submitted to
                the Central Authority of the United States an
                application for the return of the Children to
                France.

     005   The Court finds that this Court has jurisdiction of this
     cause pursuant to the Hague Convention, 42 U.S.C. 11603(a) and
     Texas Family Code, Chapter 152, section 152.105 [Editor's
     Note:  International Application of Chapter, the UCCJEA] The
     Court finds that France and the United States are Contracting
     nations or Signatory parties to the Hague Convention, which
     confer this Court with subject matter jurisdiction.
     Jurisdiction was not disputed.

     006   The court finds that the trial on this matter was held
     expeditiously pursuant to Article 11 of the Convention.

     007   The Court finds France to have been the Habitual
     Residence of the children immediately before and at the time
     of the wrongful retention and wrongful removal by the Father.
     The Court finds that the children were unilaterally removed
     from France by the Father and taken out of the family and
     social environment in which their life developed.

     008   The Court gives Full Faith and Credit to the Judicial
     Separation Order of December 2, 1994 from the French Court,
     the Tribunal De Grande Instance of Rennes, France; the Divorce
     Decree of October 12, 1995 from the same Court and the
     Judgment issued on January 24, 1997 by the Conventional
     Chamber of the Supreme Court of Rennes, finding Respondent in
     willful disobedience or contempt of its Tribunal Correctional
     (Court of Petty Sessions), hereinafter the "French Orders".
     The Court finds that the Petitioner was awarded custody of the
     children and the Respondent was awarded no visitation rights
     or access to the Children.

     009   The Court finds that the Petitioner has diligently
     pursued the location of her children for their return to
     France since at least October of 1994 and that the Respondent
     set upon a course of conduct since August 1994 to secret the
     children from the Mother. The Court finds that the Respondent
     has intentionally, deliberately and actively concealed the
     whereabouts of the children since that time by many means and
     was less that truthful in his testimony in open Court.

     010   The Court finds the children were wrongfully removed and
     wrongfully retained from France and that the Respondent's
     active concealment of the children's whereabouts is the reason
     for the passage of time between removal and discovery and that
     the one year under the Convention's Article 12 is Tolled.

     011   THEREFORE, the Court cannot legalize the factual
     situation which the Father has brought about and ORDERS the
     immediate return of the children INSTANTER to the CUSTODY of
     the MOTHER according to the French Orders and ORDERS that
     Petitioner return to Rennes, France with the children by
     February 2, 2001.

     012   The Court ORDERS that the Respondent Father has no
     possession or custody rights with the children, in accordance
     with the French Orders.

     013   Attorneys fees and costs per the Convention are reserved
     and set for a hearing on Feb. 15, 2001 at 3:00 p.m.

     014   SIGNED this the 26th day of January, 2001.
